Races can have special abilities with a relatively negligible impact on a player\u2019s experience, but forms of content or classes almost feel like they\u2019re best-suited for specific races. Below, we've listed all you need to know about choosing the right race for the right class. Races in World of Warcraft explained There are 13 different classes in WoW, and all but three of them have three specializations (specs). Demon Hunters and Evokers have just two specs. Meanwhile, Druids have four specs with one for each role\u2014healer, tank, melee DPS, and ranged DPS. Deciding on a race for your class is largely a personal decision, and it typically doesn\u2019t impact your gameplay too heavily. However, some racial abilities are known to be especially useful. For instance, Blood Elf has historically been a popular race for characters because of Arcane Torrent. Additionally, Night Elf\u2019s racial ability Shadow Meld has made it a prominently used race by players that run high-level Mythic Keystones. The race you pick for your character will vary not only by the secondary stat boost it provides, but its racial abilities might be more in line with certain types of content. Additionally, some WoW races are especially proficient at certain gathering professions, and players will make characters of a certain race and class combination, like a Tauren Druid, specifically to be a gatherer. Level up faster in WoW Dragonflight with these Zygor in-game guides What are the best races for each class in WoW Dragonflight? At the end of the day, the race you pick for your character should be whatever makes you happiest. Whether you dream of being a Goblin Rogue or any other combo that you can dream up, don\u2019t let the high-end content meta define what you select. But for those that are looking to get every advantage possible in the world\u2014of Warcraft\u2014here is a list of some of the most optimal races that high-level players use for each individual class and the roles they perform in WoW Dragonflight.

Races can have special abilities with a relatively negligible impact on a player\u2019s experience, but forms of content or classes almost feel like they\u2019re best-suited for specific races. Below, we've listed all you need to know about choosing the right race for the right class. Races in World of Warcraft explained There are 13 different classes in WoW, and all but three of them have three specializations (specs). Demon Hunters and Evokers have just two specs. Meanwhile, Druids have four specs with one for each role\u2014healer, tank, melee DPS, and ranged DPS. Deciding on a race for your class is largely a personal decision, and it typically doesn\u2019t impact your gameplay too heavily. However, some racial abilities are known to be especially useful. For instance, Blood Elf has historically been a popular race for characters because of Arcane Torrent. Additionally, Night Elf\u2019s racial ability Shadow Meld has made it a prominently used race by players that run high-level Mythic Keystones. The race you pick for your character will vary not only by the secondary stat boost it provides, but its racial abilities might be more in line with certain types of content. Additionally, some WoW races are especially proficient at certain gathering professions, and players will make characters of a certain race and class combination, like a Tauren Druid, specifically to be a gatherer. Level up faster in WoW Dragonflight with these Zygor in-game guides What are the best races for each class in WoW Dragonflight? At the end of the day, the race you pick for your character should be whatever makes you happiest. Whether you dream of being a Goblin Rogue or any other combo that you can dream up, don\u2019t let the high-end content meta define what you select. But for those that are looking to get every advantage possible in the world\u2014of Warcraft\u2014here is a list of some of the most optimal races that high-level players use for each individual class and the roles they perform in WoW Dragonflight.
